History

Nottingham Law Centre, formerly known as Hyson Green Law Centre, was established in 1982. Law Centres have existed since the early 1970s and work within their communities to defend the legal rights of local people. Spotting local trends and issues in the course of their work they highlight them to bring about necessary policy changes and to prevent future problems. Law Centres also help build capacity within local communities by training and supporting local groups and educating people about the law and their rights.

Like all Law Centres, Nottingham Law Centre is independent and operates on a not-for-profit basis.
